Arsenal defender William Saliba could make his comeback from a back injury against Slavia Prague in the Champions League tomorrow.
The Frenchman recently returned to full training after an extended lay-off with a back problem, and he has now travelled to Prague with the squad.
Speaking in the pre-match press conference, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed that Saliba is ready to play again, having already featured for 45 minutes behind closed doors last week.
Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhaes have been the regular centre-back pairing for the Gunners in Saliba’s absence. The former could be dropped soon to free up space for the Frenchman.
Arteta revealed that Konsa can play as a full-back too, but it is most likely that the Englishman will feature as a substitute once Saliba is deemed fit enough to start, likely after the international break.
The Gunners are in Champions League action against Slavia Prague tomorrow. They will host Hull City in the Premier League on Saturday before the next international break.
